Description
A silvery white species with a narrow orange-brown FW costa. The wings have acutely angled terminal margins which are also orange-brown. The same orange brown is present on the patagium and there are two spots at the abdomen base and on the tip. Two very indistinct antemedian and post median lines, cross both wings. Worn specimens may have a totally brown abdomen and thorax. Like many schoeonobids the abdomen is ‘waisted’.
